Israel Preparing for Ground Invasion

we are currently witnessing death toll of more than 100 most of which are civilians, more than 600 were injured in attacks on Gaza.

ground invasion is a realistic possibility.

Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel’s Prime Minister, also said in a statement released Thursday, that “more stages were expected” as the operation progressed.

there are hints that a bloody ground invasion will be final stage of the Israeli operation.

Ron Prosor, Israel’s U.N. envoy, addressing the Security Council on Thursday, said that the country's goal is to “dismantle Hamas’ rocket infrastructure.” He also declared that Israel isn’t looking for a ceasefire.

According to unnamed sources quoted by Israel’s Channel 10 news, Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon said he supports a limited ground operation focused on destroying tunnels through which Hamas smuggles long-range rockets.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told Israelis Thursday night said the battle would continue, anticipating “a difficult, complex battle ahead of us.”

“If we need to go inside in a ground operation, then we will do it. These things are on the table. These options exist. We will not stop anything until the rocket firing ends,” he added. Asked whether there were any efforts to reach a cease-fire, Aharonovitch said, “Not now.”

Israeli troops continued to move toward the border in anticipation of a possible ground invasion, most likely in the coming days. “We will not tolerate rocket fire on Israel cities, and we are preparing to expand the operation with everything at our disposal to strike Hamas,” said Israeli Defence Minister Moshe Yaalon, who announced a special state of emergency in southern Israel.

what is your opinion on the possibility of the ground invasion by Israel?

what would be consequences and how long would it last?

what is the REASON for the this latest escalation apart the obvious and official explanations?

"On to the Speed Round ladies and gentlemen, where the body count can really rise."

So i guess they refused Obama´s helping hand. Some calls should be public like Obama´s, who knows what was this help anyway.


Both sides is to blame..

The reason? Tel Aviv is at most an hours drive from Gaza. Like 40 miles?

To let the Islamics store more weapons etc is not an option when you are within spitting distance from an Israeli point of view. Right or wrong you need to knock out your opponent every now and then before he gets strong and can cause you real damage.

Wouldn't Lightning Round be more appropriate?

As in Blitzkrieg?

Too soon?

Send the entire combined armies of Planet earth to restore order to Israel and remove the war criminals.
Trials in the Hague.. Yes BiBi.. It is you are your minions.

All I will say is if you punch me I'll punch you so who wins?!?

Obviously it is the one who hits harder.

Who do you think can hit harder?

it seems some are already picking sides...

President Gül warned Israel not to conduct a ground invasion in Gaza, saying that such assault would create very dangerous developments and such invasion would "seed sources of a huge hatred in the region."

Iran is a big player in this crisis as well.. What really creeps me out is how twisted some minds have to be to launch rockets from their very own house and put the lives of their very own family in danger..

Yeah.

So it is better to roll in heavy artillery and airstrikes.
Even if there was a small cache of shoulder fired rockets and rusty AK series rifles...how will that make you look as a nation? Just ask the US. The new pariah. But we're lucky there are two huge oceans keeping attacks at bay.

Israel. Not so much. Plus all this Islamic State thing (sounds like a bad community college), and a TON of sympathetic nations and half baked tribal states from the Arab Spring armed...
...all they need is a motive and a reason.

Yeah, demus...that's exactly the nation that wants a little payback I had in mind.

That was CNN just told in the clip. I just tried to get my mind around it. Would you put your family in danger by launching a rocket from your own house ? Valid question !

Yes.. it may be a valid question.. but in this instance there is no
proof that any of this is real.
CNN is not a impartial third party!

It is a Zionist propaganda piece.. designed to de-humanise the Palestinian.

What you're doing is spreading the propaganda.

Simply painting the Palestinian as cold mindless monsters that kill their own with the rock and stone.
Israel on the other hand are pink and fluffy defending the righteous.

Least that's what I think !!

Israel can not take chances. One false move and it's game over.... in the Middle East at least.
